Carve-Out

BCG brings a distinctly holistic, end-to-end approach to these high-stakes transactions. Our strategic insight and deep industry expertise enable us to advise clients throughout the carve-out continuum.

We set you up for success with our clear focus on value, our deep expertise in strategy and business, our experience with complex carve-outs, and our structured approach, which pushes well beyond a purely mechanical separation exercise. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with you to boost the new entity’s value to shareholders and prospective buyers and ensure business continuity from day one. Critically, we also reduce distractions, freeing you to focus on vital day-to-day operations. After all, even the most profitable carve-out is only as successful as the business you hold when the signatures are dry.

IT is particularly thorny. IT systems often take longer to untangle than any other process and can stretch beyond the carve-out’s completion date. Together with BCG Platinion, we help anticipate, mitigate, and manage IT issues, including timelines, business requirements, security and privacy, historical data, and stranded costs.
